		Although baseball is considered a non-contact sport; a runner may be allowed to make potentially dangerous contact with a fielder as part of an attempt to reach a base, unless that fielder is fielding a batted ball.
		Baseball is thought to be a direct descendant of cricket, rounders, and town ball (which was much like rounders), though the game's true origins are uncertain.

		Baseball is a team sport in which a player on one team (the pitcher) attempts to throw a hard, fist-sized ball past a player on the other team (the batter), who attempts to hit the baseball with a tapered, smooth cylinder called a bat.
		Baseball history is full of heroes and goats—men who in the heat of the moment (the "clutch") distinguished themselves with a timely hit or catch, or an untimely strikeout or error.
		Baseball is played at a number of levels, by amateur and professionals, and by the young and the old.

	Submarine (baseball) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		These are the toughest pitches for same-side batters to hit (if the submarine pitcher is right handed, then he or she is the most difficult for a right handed hitter to hit).
		For example, assume that right-handed submarine pitcher were to face right-handed hitter From the view of the pitcher towards home plate, a submarine style fastball tends to break toward the right of the plate towards the batter.
		The converse is true for left-handed submarine pitchers: a fastball from left-handed submariner Mike Myers would break towards left-handed hitters, but away from right-handed hitters.

	Book details history of submarine warfare - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
		It is painful to read that some cities and businesses, not wanting to hinder commerce, resisted dimming their lights (against which submarines could see the outlines of merchant ships) and even boasted what a vacation treat it would be to come watch the subs sink ships.
		Yet, all of that, as my son-in-law would be quick to point out, is not really about the submarine, but about what were essentially surface craft that had the ability to submerge for short periods.
		It is astonishing to reflect that this nuclear period represents half the existence of the operational submarine (though it represents less than a fifth of Parrish's text).

	The Straight Dope Mailbag: Why do pitchers throw overhand in baseball but underhand in softball?
		There have been several sidearm pitchers, and a couple of submarine (underhand) throwers, in the major leagues, with varying degrees of success.
		So much about baseball control and speed comes from an overhand motion, including the wind-up, the whiplike explosion off the mound, and the follow-through.
		Being indoors, there was no pitching mound, and throwing from this position was considered potentially harmful to a pitcher's mechanics, so often a coach or manager would simply toss the ball, underhanded, to put it in play for practice purposes.
